If you are buying or changing insurance, you will be working with either a captive agent or an independent agent. It is important to know the differences between the two if you want the best possible service and price. Here is a breakdown of the differences between both types of agents:


Captive Agent: Captive agents work for one insurance company exclusively. This means that they will only be knowledgeable in one insurance company's policies and prices and will have a lack of options. Furthermore, captive agents will not get you the best price available most of the time.


Independent Agent: On the other hand, independent agents are not tied to any single insurance company. They have the flexibility to work with multiple insurance companies, offering a wide selection of policies and coverage options to their clients. Independent agents will get you a better policy at a better price compared to captive agents.


Independent agencies like AZ Insurance Team are committed to getting you the best insurance policy at the best price!
